As the words left their mouths, the man stepped in with a calm, steady stride. He wore a long wine-red coat over a black turtleneck sweater and black slacks, the ensemble enhancing his already striking features with at touch of dark charm. The aura he carried was noble and refined.
Mr. Greg glanced at the man walking in and said, feigning irritation, “So you do remember to come home. Do you even know what time it is p>
Ruby chuckled. “Sebastian, don’t listen to your grandpa He’s been waiting for you all afternoon, kept asking why you weren’t back yet p>
“Yeah, the moment he heard you were coming home tonight, he pulled out his best stash of wine from the bottom of his cabinet,” Felix added.
Mr. Greg scowled, though a smile tugged at his lips. “You rascal. Leave me something to say, would you p>
“All right, Dad,” Jared said with a wide grin. “Sebastian’s finally home. Let’s get dinner started. Everyone’s probably starving p>
Triny stared at the man’s flawless features, feeling like her heart had stopped and her lungs had forgotten how to breathe.
She knew she had fallen for him.
Though she never believed in love at first sight, this moment left no doubt-she was completely fixated on this man.
It felt like fate had arranged for them to meet.
Sebastian stepped up to Mr. Greg. “Happy New Year, Grandpa p>
Mr. Greg nodded with deep satisfaction. “Good.” Then he turned to the man beside him. “This is Mr. Lindt -do you remember p>
Sebastian glanced at the man with a frosty look and gave a slight nod. That was all. The unease between the Whitmore and Lindt families was something that would never fully disappear.
Leon paused briefly, then smiled. “Hard to believe how much you’ve grown, Sebastian. You were so little back then. Time really flies p>
Looking at the man now, Leon knew not to underestimate him. He was in control of vast economic power, and with his status, no one in Kingston could rival him,
That’s why he welcomed Triny’s admiration for him. If something were to come of it, it would be a fine match-and a great advantage for the Lindt family.
Mr. Greg picked up on Sebastian’s discomfort and gently said, “Don’t mind him. He’s always like that p>
“Not at all,” Leon replied with a laugh. “Triny, didn’t you keep asking me about your Sebastian? Well, there he is, right in front of you. You forgetting to say hi p>
Snapped back to reality, Triny lowered her head shyly and spoke in a soft voice. “Sebastian p>
Sebastian gave her a cold glance, then turned to Mr. Greg. “Grandpa, I’m hungry. Can we eat now p>

Felix shot her a glance, then stood up. “Mom, I’m starving too. Let’s eat already-it’s getting late. Any later and this dinner won’t even count as New Year’s.” He tugged Sebastian along toward the dining room as he spoke.
Mr. Greg noticed Triny’s embarrassed expression and said, “Sebastian’s always been like that. He’s never liked talking to girls. Don’t take it personally p>
Triny forced a faint smile. “Of course not p>
The group headed to the dining room.
After they were seated-
Mr. Whitmore sat at the head of the table, with Sebastian on his left. Triny had intended to sit beside him, but Felix slid into the seat first. Without a trace of embarrassment, Triny sat down next to Elsa instead.
The butler filled everyone’s wine glasses with red wine.
Mr. Greg raised his glass. “It’s New Year’s Eve. It’s rare that we’re all together like this-and with Leon and Triny here too. This old man is truly happy tonight. Lets have a toast p>
The younger ones at the table lifted their glasses and drank.
Once the toast was done, Mr. Greg picked up his fork, signaling the others to begin eating.
Sebastian took a sip of wine before setting his glass down.
Felix had already started eating. Between bites, he said, Try the ribs. My mom makes these. You won’t find better ones anywhere else p>
Mr. Greg laughed. “It’s true. Your aunt really does make this dish well. Since this is your first New Year at home, we didn’t know your preferences, so she made her specialties p>
Sebastian picked up his fork and lifted a small rib, eating with quiet elegance.
As he tasted the ribs, he suddenly thought of the little one’s soft voice saying she wanted to eat them. A faint smile tugged at the corner of his lips. They really were good-if she were here, she would’ve devoured the whole plate.
